S 1270 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires high schools to carry and have a trained employee to administer opioid antagonists

This bill requires all New York high schools to keep opioid overdose-reversal medication (like naloxone) on hand and designate at least one trained staff member to administer it during all school hours and after-school activities. Schools must ensure the medication is accessible and that at least one employee has completed a state-approved training course on its use. The law applies directly to high schools and their designated staff, mandating immediate availability of the medication for emergencies. It does not change existing health protocols but adds a specific requirement for opioid overdose response in school settings.
